Mr. Chairman, surely the first time the minister heard about it was not around the cabinet table. Clearly there was a point before a cabinet meeting where the minister heard about this from someone. I would like to know who he heard about it from. Was it the Prime Minister? Was it Eddie Goldenberg? Who did he hear about this idea from in the first place?
In the House of Commons on May 7th, 2002. See this statement in context.
